Lounging between two pillars of ivory

from GZA (Ft. Ghostface Killah, Killah Priest & RZA) – 4th Chamber Lyrics on Rap Genius

Killah Priest is referring to King Solomon’s temple that was built with 2 pillars of ivory on both sides of the east entrance. This line is also connected to the line before; Solomon was a famous judge, as his famous “split the baby” judgment suggests.

The “pillars of ivory” are unlikely to be a white woman’s legs/breasts as a few have suggested. The current trend for bragging about white girls was definitely not in effect back in 95.
